England's Monroe, Mara Lane Turns Down Contract Offer
Hollywood-(U.P.) M a r a Lane, billed as England's version of Marilyn Monroe, has been imported by star-maker Howard Hughes, but she revealed today, she turned down the chance to join his list of stars.
Hughes, via low-cut billboards and busy publicity, has hoisted to fame such beauties as Jean Harlow and Jane Russell.
But the brunette Mara said she doesn't want to take the chance of joining other Hughes stars such as Faith Domergue and Ursula Theiss, who got the buildup—but few roles.
"I want to work. I love to stay in Hollywood if I get good parts. I do not want to sign a contract with either or any other studio. I like it here."
So far the chances of Mara invading the inner sanctum of Hollywood glory are warm. Warner and Paramount studios want to test her.
But Mara, fluffing her short, black curls, said she doesn't want to be compared to anyone.
Miss Lane, who has a background of roles in eight English films, turn-out not to resemble Marilyn after all Despite her tag as the tea-and-fog Monroe, she looks more like Elizabeth Taylor.
Mara can conveniently, or inconveniently, lapse into an American accent. She was born in Austria and lived in Russia but went to high school in New York before moving to London. Her real name is Dorothy Bolton.

Washington — (U.P.)— Who women can't keep secrets?
Under the bonnet of Mrs. Raymond Sayre is locked what probably will be the farm program of the Eisenhower administration. And she's not about to give it away.
But the lone woman on the 18-member National Agricultural Advisory Commission named by President Eisenhower is as firm as her male co-workers in declining to comment on what goes on at their secret sessions. She turns you down with a twinkle in her eye. But she turns you down.
The Iowa farm woman is glad to talk about her four children, her husband's sheep, or cooking.
The commission is drawing up recommendations for farm policies which are scheduled to be the backbone of the program President Eisenhower takes to Congress in January.
As an indication of how much is thought of Mrs. Sayre, she is one of five asked to serve four years on the rotating committee, the longest term. Others serve only until 1955 and 1956.
Asked at a meeting of the commission if she is out-talked by the men at the sessions, Mrs. Sayre said, "No, they've been quite cooperative and very nice."

"I don't speak until I think I can make a contribution, of course," she said. She added that she thinks the cause of women's rights has been hampered when some females fail to follow that rule.

Spoon in Coffee OK When Rolling Along
Columbus, Ohio —(U.P)— Contrary to accepted etiquette, it's not only proper but also good sense to leave the spoon in your coffee cup—aboard the dining car of a moving train, that is.
Eastern railroad dining car experts claim the spoon in the cup helps keep the coffee from sloshing out. What's more, they say this works even better when the spoon is turned backwards.
Highballs and water are no problem on fast-moving trains, due to the ice in the tall glasses, but about the only way to keep a cocktail from slopping is to drink it quickly.
To help the coffee-drinker who might be embarrassed by the spoon-in-cup routine, the railroads are searching for the perfect non-sloshable cup. To date they have come up with a pyramid-shaped one and another with a double rim, which they are testing.
Kissing Decreed No Indecent Liberty
Walla Walla, Wash. —(U.P.) A Superior Court jury of 10 men and two women has agreed that kissing a girl does not constitute an indecent liberty.
The jury deliberated for 90 minutes before declaring Sherd Baker innocent of taking indecent liberties when he kissed a 15-year-old baby-sitter.
Throughout the case, attorneys struggled to explain the technical difference between "indecent" and "improper." The defense attorney said Baker did not deny kissing the girl, but said the issue was a question of impropriety rather than indecency.

Chilled glasses need a warm-up before they're plunged into hot dish water. A quick rinse in cold water is all that's necessary.
